Fall foliage viewing is absolutely the essential event in November. You can see the colorful autumn leaves in most places of Japan. Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and the surroundings of Mt. Fuji are all popular destinations in this month. Especially, Kyoto blazes with historical vibe as well as the leaves falling down.


2. Hakone & Nikko

Hakone and Nikko are well-known hot spring towns in central Japan, nearby Tokyo. Deep autumn is just the time to have an onsen bath, and the scenery is also charming. Hakone is very close to Mt. Fuji, where you can catch the images of the iconic summit and dazzling leaves together. Back by mountains, Nikko is also picturesque in autumn.

3. Nara for Deer Feeding Fun

Apart from the impressive autumn leaves, Nara has cute deer as well. This is what the city famous for. Under the trees with fall foliage, you may play with deer and feed them with the special senbei, which would be interesting particularly for a family tour.
